 What the Fraulein thought of it when she heard that Ben had changed his mind hardly know, but he made some plausible excuse, have no doubt, and promised Ito soothe her wounded feel ings) that he would soon return. Once more at Westley. The first evening after his arrival Ben went down to the rectory. Anna was out, but the coachman was in.
 ''Yo' back again my lad! Tore just like bobby, a-turning up when you arc not wantcd."
 That was the coachman's welcome and Ben resented it.

 "Hey' ejaculated Ben. ''As much hay as yo' like, my lad we gies it to the losses, and can spare a bit for a donkey" Clearly, there was no friendly feeling on the part of the coachman for Ben. Then the cook tackled him. "You'vc made fine mess of it, Bon. Have you heard what she's had left her2'
